Ingredients

How to make it

  • To make the syrup:
  • Peel the lemon with a potato peeler to get flat strips of peel.
  • Juice the lemon.
  • Bring the sugar, water, and lemon juice to a boil.
  • Toss in the rind of the lemon.
  • Boil until the lemon rind is firm or the mixture is similar to a runny syrup consistency.
  • Add the honey.
  • Set aside while you make the basboosa.
  • Mix the semolina, flour, sugar, and baking powder.
  • Add the oil and mix until all the batter is well blended.
  • Grease a large cookie sheet tray or jelly roll tray (10 x 16 inches).
  • Add the milk just before you are about to bake.
  • Dot the batter into the greased pan by spoonfuls.
  • Level the batter with your hand (dipped in cold water or milk).
  • Gently shake the tray to level.
  • Bake for 1/2 hour at 350 degrees.
  • Cut into squares and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes.
  • Pour the syrup over the basboosa immediately after you remove it from the oven the last time.

    Some miserable so-and-so gave you a low rating and my guess is they haven't even tried your recipe. I think it looks great and it's very similar to one that I have. I LOVE it and it's "5" forks all the way!
